B. It joins two independant clauses
iragen [17]4 years ago
5 0

The answer is: semicolon joins two independent clauses.

The semicolon is used instead of saying the conjunction<em> and. </em>

Semicolons are not exchangeable with commas or periods, they are stronger than a comma but not as final as a period.

Semicolons connect two closely related independent clauses. The two sentences should share a logical and grammatical connection. The function of the semicolon is to narrow the gap between the ideas of two separate sentences or to replace a conjunction between two related ideas. They are also used to divide the items of a long list if the items are long or contain internal punctuation.

Which event was a major influence on kurt Vonnegut writing
ratelena [41]
Vonnegut was deployed to Europe to fight in World War II, and was captured by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge. He was interned in Dresden and survived the Allied bombing of the city by taking refuge in a meat locker of the slaughterhouse where he was imprisoned. This event inspired his novel, Slaughterhouse Five. It made him develop nihilistic views considering the tragedies he witnessed. Also, he had major family tragedies - mother's suicide and father's alcoholism (I believe). Research that.
